Sarah Lamb, Calvin Richardson and artists of The Royal Ballet in Wayne McGregor's Yugen. Our Bernstein Celebration DVD is now available [ Ссылка ]
Leonard Bernstein was one of the first classical composers in America to achieve both popular and critical acclaim. He was eclectic in his sources – drawing on jazz and modernism, the traditions of Jewish music and the Broadway musical – and many of Bernstein’s scores are remarkably well suited to dance.
Yugen is set to Bernstein's famous Chichester Psalms, a work for choir and orchestra. The text is sung in Hebrew, and follows the melodic and rhythmic contours of the Hebrew language.
